Summer Reading
Build the ultimate summer reading list for teens and tweens! That’s the project taken on by Char over at Weary Parent. No wonder she’s weary!
The idea is to give a list of at least three of our own teens’ and tweens’ favorite books, and compile all the answers into a massive reading list for these age groups. As both my daughter and I love to read, we couldn’t wait to participate! Here are three of her absolute favorites:
The Princess Diaries series by Meg Cabot Girls ages 12&up. My daughter proudly proclaims herself a geek, and these books are some of her favorite “guilty pleasures”
Lord of the Flies by William Golding Grades 10&up, according to School Library Journal. One of the classics, which most of us have to read at some point in our high school career. This one really fired up her imagination, and quickly became a favorite.
The Da Vinci Codeby Dan Brown Adults & older teens. My daughter, being the nut she is over both history and archaeology, fell in love with this book immediately. She barely laid it down over the course of the two days she read it! I haven’t seen her read any books this fast, except for the Harry Potter series. And those are already on the list, so I thought I’d add different ones!
So, there you have it! Three of my daughter’s favorite reads! Get your teens reading this summer! Visit Char over at Weary Parent for the rest of the list. Reading is still one of the best forms of entertainment around!
